Breach of Trust: How the Warren Commission Failed the Nation and Why $13.95 The Warren Commission Report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy . . . was instantly implausible because the authors hid the secrets they knew (and ignored the ones they didn’t).–David Ignatius, Washington Post Book WorldThat recent appraisal reflects a growing consensus that the Warren Commission largely failed in its duty to our nation. Echoing that sentiment, the Gallup organization has reported that 75 percent of Americans polled do not believe the Commission’s major conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was the “lone assassin.” Gerald McKnight now gives profound substance to that view in the most meticulous and devastating dissection of the Commission’s work to date. The Warren Commission produced 26 volumes of hearings and exhibits, more than 17,000 pages of testimony, and a 912-page report. Surely a definitive effort. Not at all, McKnight argues. The Warren Report itself, he contends, was little more than the capstone to a deceptive and shoddily improvised exercise in public relations designed to “prove” that Oswald had acted alone. McKnight argues that the Commission’s own documents and collected testimony–as well as thousands of other items it never saw, refused to see, or actively suppressed–reveal two conspiracies: the still very murky one surrounding the assassination itself and the official one that covered it up. The cover-up actually began, he reveals, within days of Kennedy’s death, when President Johnson, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, and acting Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach all agreed that any official investigation must reach only one conclusion: Oswald was the assassin. While McKnight does not uncover any “smoking gun” that identifies the real conspirators, he nevertheless provides the strongest case yet that the Commission was wrong–and knew it. Oswald might have knowingly or unwittingly been involved, but the Commission’s own evidence proves he could not have acted alone. Based on more than a |

Founders on the Founders: Word Portraits from the American Revolutionary Era $29.95 “I never indeed thought him an honest, frank-dealing man, but considered him as a crooked gun, or other perverted machine, whose aim or stroke you could never be sure of.”—Thomas Jefferson on Aaron Burr”[A]lways an honest Man, often a wise one, but sometimes, and in some things, absolutely out of his senses.”— Benjamin Franklin on John Adams”I do now know [Jefferson] to be one of the most artful, intriguing, industrious and double-faced politicians in all America.”— John Nicholas to George Washington”I shall really regret to leave Mr. Jefferson, he is one of the choice ones of the Earth.”— Abigail AdamsMore than two centuries after the ground-breaking events of the American struggle for independence, its key figures strike us more as players in a myth than as people who lived, worked, and interacted with one another. To recover the human dimension of the founders, we need look no further than their own words. Through a series of revealing quotations, historian John P. Kaminski profiles thirty of the era’s best-known individuals, including Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, John Hancock, Thomas Paine, and Patrick Henry (“all tongue without either head or heart,” according to Thomas Jefferson), as well as the early presidents and their first ladies.The discourse is unfailingly respectful, and yet this is no mutual admiration society. The subjects are not afraid to be sharp about one another, but this only makes their words of praise more convincing and poignant. One could hardly ask for a more clear-eyed, and touching, tribute than Thomas Jefferson’s appraisal of George Washington: “He was incapable of fear, meeting personal dangers with the calmest unconcern…. His integrity was most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known, no motives of interest or consanguinity, of friendship or hatred, being able to bias his decision. He was, indeed, in every sense of the |
